November 5,2000
Members of the City Council;Mayor Bailey and City Administration Staff:
Five years ago,Roger Schlaefer,Marsha and Tom Smith,and I collected approximately
250 Waukee citizens'signatures on a petition calling for a ban on open burning in the
city of Waukee.That petition was presented to the City Council and resulted in a new
open burning ordinance being passed.Until that time there were few,if any,restrictions
on open burning in town.The council insisted on a compromise rather than a burning
ban and had a new ordinance written that specified dates and times when burning was
8
allowed and also the types of materials that could be bumed.Over the last five years,this
ordinance has been violated repeatedly.It has become frustrating and discouraging to
many people in town who do follow the law and/or who oppose burning.There are
people who are ignorant of the law and there are people who violate the law intentionally,
but the result is the same.Open burning takes place in Waukee throughout the entire
year,regardless of the law.Education about the law and enforcing it is the responsibility
of the city and its employees but your efforts have not been successful.
At the time this ordinance was being written,the Council voiced its concern for those
who could not afford to pay for bags or stickers to dispose of yard waste.The Council
also stated that the city did not have the money or resources to do anything about the
disposal of yard waste and was at the mercy of the contractors who were willing to pick it
up and dispose of it for a fee.Our population has grown and so has the city staff.I
believe that the city now has the resources and personnel to research this issue and to
offer affordable and environmentally friendly alternatives to open burning,One has only
to read the newspaper to find information about ways to use leaves and yard waste for
mulch or compost.Iowa State Extension services and Master Gardeners have programs
available on this subject.There have also been ideas published about how to reduce the
volume that leaves take up in the bags.Some communities have offered drop-off sites for
leaves (see article about Ankeny.)Other cities arrange for pick-up of leaves by the street
sweeper at scheduled times.You do not have to be a large city to accomplish these
things.This information is available to city staff through resources like the Internet,
professional organizations and simple communication with other Iowa communities.
Open burning is a hazard to people and to the environment.I have attached a copy of a
Des Moines Register article quoting the director of the pediatric allergy and pulmonary
division at University Hospitals in Iowa City stating that the practice of open burning of
leaves is especially hazardous to people with asthma.You don't have to be a doctor to
know that the clouds of smoke and ash which have floated in the air of Waukee recently
cannot be good for the children.The two times of the year with some of the best weather
for being outside and enjoying our town are the times when burning is legal.It is not too
hot and humid,neither is it too cold.However,it is not a safe or pleasant experience
when open burning is taking place.We have over 900 students at Waukee Elementary
who play outside much of the day during recess and P.E.time at school.Burning takes
place legally during the time the children are at school.Many of those children were out
on Beggar's Night,a night during which we invite children to walk through their
neighborhoods.For the last two years there have been several people burning their
leaves during that time.It is legal to burn until 7:00 PM,but it was inappropriate on
Beggar's night.
Five years ago,we worked hard to come up with a way to start working on eliminating
burning.Since then,little has been done to help the public with affordable and safe
disposal of yard waste.Last year,you took a step backward by extending the burning
season.That act was disheartening and disappointing to open burning opponents since
we were not given a chance to oppose the amendment which was passed on the first
J
9
reading.I believe there was opposition on record as evidenced by phone calls and visits
with city hall,council persons,the mayor and police.
The slogan for our city is "The Key to Good Living."We are attracting new residents
and new businesses.We like our small town advantages.Friendly neighbors,local
businesses,great schools and a safe place to live are why most of us have chosen to make
Waukee our homes whether we've been here 30 years or three months.We want to raise
our children and our grandchildren here.Open burning is an archaic,unsafe practice that
has little to do with the advantages of small town living.In fact,it's a disadvantage.
Let's live up to our slogan.It is time for the City Council to ban all open burning for
good.Please do something now to eliminate this unpleasant,unsafe practice of open
burning before next spring.Use your personnel and your resources to find another way
for the citizens of Waukee to dispose of yard waste in an affordable,safe manner.
Thank you for your consideration of this important manner.
Sincerely,
Jane Olson
A motion was made by Gruber,with a second by Peard to allow open burning from
November 7,2000 to November 20,2000.Gruber amended his motion to allow burning
as our ordinance permits (November 30,2000),with an amended second by Peard.The
Mayor asked for a roll call.Ayes:Gruber,Peard,Johnson,Watts and Berger.Motion
carried 5-0.
8.Public Hearing:On Waukee's Urban Renewal Plan.
The Mayor announced this was the time and place for the Public Hearing for the
Waukee Urban Renewal Plan.The Mayor asked for any written comments.
Mark indicated that Dr.Stalker had submitted a written comment.Dr.Stalker's
has been submitted and is available at Waukee City Hall for anyone to review.
Councilman Johnson indicated that he is opposed to having residential areas in a
TIP area,however,he wants the flexibility to include blighted residential in a Tax
Increment Financing area in the future.Shawn Mori,a resident in the Sugar
Creek Estates area,addressed the City Council on her experience with TIP in
West Des Moines.Bob Josten indicated the taxable valuation for Waukee was
broken down to 88%for residential and 12%for industriallcommercial,thus TIP
would only potentially impact 12%of our current taxable valuation.The Mayor
closed the Public Hearing.
9.Resolution 00-189:Approving Waukee's Urban Renewal Plan.
Bob Josten,the City's Bond Attorney from Dorsey &Whitney addressed the
Mayor/Council regarding the Waukee Urban Renewal Plan.Josten indicated that
we met our statutory obligation by holding a Public Hearing and having a TIP
consultation session on October 19,2000.The Mayor indicated that he received
10
an Ordinance and Resolution from Bob Josten.Bob indicated that we should not
vote on the Ordinance until the next meeting.Motion by Gruber,second by Peard
to approve Resolution 00-189.Ayes:Gruber,Peard,Berger,Watts,Johnson.
Nays:None.Motion carried 5-0.I

The Key to Good Living
Mayor's Office
November 5,2000
Dear City Council Members,
I am recommending that Jody Gunderson be appointed as the City of
Waukee's Representative to the Dallas County Development Board.I feel it
is important to keep this door open for economic development opportunities
for the City of Waukee.I urge you to not shut this door for development
opportunities.We need to reach out where ever possible to bring more
business to our community.Another aspect of this position is to Chair the
Workforce Development committee.You should know that this is the single
most restrictive problem facing the business community in Iowa and an
ownership role in working to resolve the labor shortage is critical to new
business coming to our community.We have one of the lowest
unemployment rates in the state.We also have to accept ownership for our
own fate,therefore I believe it is important to continue an active role in
bringing not only development to Waukee and our school district,but also to
our county.These are all efforts to bring a business tax base to help offset
tax costs within our community.
As Mayor I have worked hard to open doors for our community to new
opportunities.I urge you not to close this door,as per the recommendation
by City Administrator Arentsen to pullout of the Dallas County Development
Corporation.Any concerns you may have about Dallas County Development
most certainly can be worked out,but we have to communicate the concerns
for them to be addressed,pulling out is not the answer.
Sincerely,~#V.

Councilman Johnson made a motion to pay DCD this year's amount and
reevaluate the relationship at that time.Councilman Nick Gruber argued that we

should not use Linda Schaut or DCD because we have not seen an economic
development benefit from the DCD organization.Linda Schaut spoke and said
that she accomplished several plant relocations into Dallas County and even
though she has not brought any business into our city,she cited ancillary benefits
to our community.Council Johnson suggested that we fund the organization for
this current fiscal year and reevaluate our relationship after the City has given her
time to prove the worthiness of the organization.Johnson recommended that the
Mayor/City Council/City Staff write a letter emphasizing this.Councilman Watts
said that he felt the door has been shut on us by Dallas County.Councilman
Peard asked to go on record and expressed to Linda that he would support paying
her,but wanted to see value from her and DCD in the next 6 months.Joshua
Smith recommended that the City Council continue funding the organization for
this fiscal year and quantify the results generated from DCD beginning now to our
next budget cycle.Motioned by Johnson,second by Peard to approve
appointment of Jody Gunderson as the City of Waukee representative to Dallas
County Development and continue membership in DCD for the remainder of this
fiscal year.Ayes:Johnson,Peard,Berger,Gruber.Nays:Watts.Motion carried
